The Law Offices of Mary Kay Elloian
Announces Its Public Service Seminar Series “ESTATE PLANNING FOR PET OWNERS” This seminar, “Estate Planning for Pet Owners” is an invaluable session for pet owners and veterinarians alike. Health Care Directives…How Your Veterinarian
Can Save The Day
All too often, veterinarians face the dilemma of euthanizating
a healthy vigorous pet when a pet owner dies, just because the owner feared
that no one would want the pet. Or, the pet owner mistakenly believed no
one would care for their pet in the manner that their pets became accustomed.
To help prevent these terrible misconceptions, Attorney Mary Kay Elloian
has developed the seminar, “Estate Planning With Pets” to provide pet owners
and veterinarians with the information they need to help prevent such tragedies
from occurring. With some simple Estate Planning steps, pet owners can be
assured that their pets will be cared for by someone they choose and in the
manner they so designate. Providing Pet Owners With Choices For Their
Peace of Mind
In her seminar, Attorney Elloian outlines the steps
necessary to develop a pet care and maintenance plan, both long and short
term, which may also designate that your pet’s present health care provider
be the one to provide continued care for the pet after the pet owner is no
longer able. By proving such health and maintenance directives in an estate
plan, pet owner’s can have peace of mind that their faithful loved one will
be cared for in the manner that the both the pet owner and the pet have become
accustomed. By providing for the pet with a continuity of care and maintenance
plan, trauma to the pet can be minimized while a new caretaker situation
is established.Identification Measures to Ensure Your Pet is
Being Cared For
To complement her Estate Planning techniques, Attorney Elloian
provides current security information about “microchipping” your pet. Such
a procedure can provide assurance that the pet you want cared for is in fact
the one being cared for. This is especially important in multi-pet households
where medical services must be provided for a specific pet, or if one pet
is a breeding pet. It is also a great feature to identify the pet in the
event the pet may be lost or stolen. By microchipping, a pet owner can have
peace of mind that it is “their pet” that is being cared for as designated
in their Estate Plan. Short Term Care Planning…Just As Essential As
Long Term Planning
In addition, to long term care estate planning, it is
also just as important to provide a short term care plan to prevent any potential
crisis situation from having potentially devastating effect upon your pet.
All too often, if a pet owner suffers some sudden incapacity or even worse,
the pet can be inadvertently forgotten for days and weeks with no one to
care for it. To avoid this potentially disastrous outcome, a pet owner must
carefully plan with the help of an experienced legal professional, an estate
plan that will serve both long and short term care and maintenance needs.
Because no one wants their pet to be deprived of food, water, shelter, medical
care, or be inadvertently forgotten or abandoned…it is essential that a thorough
and comprehensive health and maintenance plan be in place to contact designated
caregivers to provide immediate, uninterrupted care for your pets.Some of the topics Attorney Elloian will discuss:
